"But if the undervotes were declared valid only when
chads were detached by at least two corners, Bush
would have come out on top by 407 votes. And if
only cleanly punched ballots were counted, Bush
would win by 152 votes."

However, if the Florida law is really the same as the Texas law that Dubya signed, then dimples, much less the various flavors of hanging chad, count.

Why use a standard that is not legal in Florida or in Texas under the Bush law or in any state that has specifically addressed punch card ballots.

Bush also "wins" if you just refuse to count votes from black voters who voted 90% for Gore. But that has some legal problems, even with Tony the Fixer and the robes.

Although Alabama and Mississippi -- long live the Confederacy, it was about "state's rights" not slavery -- would buy banning black voters.
